Details
Submitted by[?]: Partito del Socialismo Istaliano - F.P.
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: December 4371
Description[?]:
| Ernesto Revara, General secretary of the PCI and upcoming Head of Government: As the next Head of Government, I propose this first bill for the discussion and the approval of the whole coalition: I know that the dear collegues of Fronte Democratico and Alleanza Radicale support devolution on some matters, but I think we all believe that education should be provided equally through the whole nation. This government won't surely change many of the federalist reforms of the past years, but the education of our children is a matter we care indifferently from the region we live in. Made these premises, I propose the following: (ARTICLE 3: A substantial help is provided also to families of average income, anyway, school taxes will be low seen the good state of our economy which this government could aim to improve.) |
